special says: Much has been said by the papers
here about the strained condition of things be-
tween Austria and Russia, and Of the excite
ment in Galicia. War has been predicted to
take place early in the spring by many Conserv-
alive journals. But special correspondent of
the Chronicle, who has just returned from a
thorough investigation of the condition of affairs
in Galicla, has made a report which is anything
but alarming. He says: I have just returned
from a weeks visit to Galicia, whittier l went to

truth of the reports concerning the Austrian
and Russian war preparations that have been
causing SO much alarm during the past few
weeks. Speaking briefly. l am bound to say

however, of the falsity of the statements that
large bodies of Russian troops have been
brought close up to the Austrian frontier.
''As for the much-tAlked-of strengthening OF
the Aus trian forces in Galicia it Is scarcely
much TO say that nothing of the kind has taken
place. Or if any addition has been made to the
Galician army it is of the most insignificant
character. In any case should say that there
are not more men in Galicia now than there
were in the spring of last year. There is. in
short. absolutely nothing to justify the fear that
war is imminent. or is being actively prepared
for. The wooden huts and barracks scattered
along the Austrian railway lines, about which
so much has been written, have not apparently
been increased since last year. As for the in
babitants of the frontier districts, they seem to

tions are imminent. Nor did hear a word con-
tanning any menace of Russian military move
